Reviews summary

Recommended

From the initial survey of out cottage to the one - day installation took only 8 weeks. As the heaters had to come from the manufactures in Germany this was very impressive. There was no hard sale involved with South West Heating Solutions. They concentrate on a high quality product, sound advice and excellent customer service, my wife and I are delighted with our 5 heaters. The app works well in setting each rooms heat in time intervals and the individual remote controls allow instant modifications of all settings.

Really happy to hear how pleased you are with your new system. Many thanks for the review and recommendation. Warm wishes from us all at SWHS.

We have recently had a fourth radiator fitted in the second bedroom, others in the house had been fitted before we purchased the house. South West Heating have been nothing but help, knowledgeable and efficient. The heating is excellent in the cottage, just what we needed in such an old house. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of replacing their heating.

The initial visit, the quotation process, and installation were all very friendly, courteous and professional, with well presented staff who knew their job well. A minor problem with the programming was quickly remedied with no drama and excellent service, both by phone and by personal visits from both the salesperson and engineer.

All members of the SW Heating Team and their plumbing and electrical subcontractors were efficient, professional, friendly, and readily available to discuss queries. We are very pleased with the end product. The team removed our old conventional heating system (oil), which was replaced with Elkatherm radiators. They heat up within 20 minutes and hold the heat for approximately 45 minutes once switched off. Each room can be individually temperature controlled using a remote central, or via the app. We would definitely recommend South West Heating Solutions to anyone considering electric.

I wanted to replace my old storage heaters. Decided to go with South West Heating. Setting up the system in the middle of a heatwave, it was hard to imagine what a difference the heaters would make, now the frosty weather has set in - wow! The house is warm and comfortable throughout the day. I have managed to set each heater to come on when I need it. The system is easy to adjust. The difference it made to my old cottage is just amazing!

Was looking to replace some very old night storage heaters in my Cornish Cottage. Gas was not an option. After contacting a couple of companies and having been given outrageous prices, I contacted South West Heating. They came around, did a full survey and gave me a price which was very competitive. The engineers quickly installed the new radiators with no mess. They look 100% better than my old units and of course are fully programmable to only operate when required. Highly recommended.

We had all the radiators replaced in our house in Polruan. From the initial quotation visit, to the survey and the installation, the team have been knowledgeable and efficient and pleasant to deal with. We felt we were given the information in a very straightforward manner...there was no hard sell or nagging follow up calls. The new radiators look so much better than our old storage heaters and being able to control the heating from our phones is a joy. All through previous winters we found our storage heaters had run out of steam by the time the evening came - this winter we are looking forward to being warm...also when we weren't in the house it seemed crazy leaving the storage heaters on and chugging away on the off chance of very cold weather. When the team came to fit the heaters they were very thoughtful about consulting me on the exact positioning of each radiator and were inventive about hiding the wiring for the bathroom radiator. I can't comment on the customer service post installation but if their track record is anything to go by I fully expect, should I need it, a straightforward and prompt response from them. Hopefully this won't be necessary.

They arrived on time the day the job was arranged for. Before they could start the installation of the new heaters, they had to remove the old night storage heaters, this they did very proficiently and with no damage or mess. Then the heaters were fitted in no time at all. When completed I was taken step by step through the heat app which I am able to control each heater on an individual basis. The heaters look very smart and being quite slim to the previous heaters are much more attractive. My wife and I are very pleased with the end product.

After turning on my hub had stopped working when the beast from the east was arriving I was given immediate help on the phone, on how to get the heating working so we were not cold. The engineer was able to come within 48 hours to sort the problem definitively and quickly sorted the issue and ensured everything was working as expected. Extremely helpful and professional service throughout.

We have just added to the 9 radiators we had from South West Heating 4 or 6 years ago. We use our rooms very differently depending on the day of the week or time of the day and so conventional central heating makes no sense when you can have a system which is as adaptable & responsive as this. The house is very old, but the style of the radiators fits in just fine and the team are patient & meticulous when working with our really thick walls.

When I moved into my house in 2007 there were economy seven night storage heaters in the living room and two bedrooms which lasted for about ten years when they gave up the ghost. I then had no proper heating for sometime. I decided to do something about is and typed electric heaters into Google. South West Solutions popped up. After some deliberation I decided to arrange a free home survey and I'm so glad that I did. A nice chap came around to measure up and gave me a quote. The wheels were put in motion and my heaters arrived just in time for the winter months. They have made so much difference to my home. I can control when I want them to come on and go off even from work or when I'm out and about. I would definitely recommend them.

We had this system installed in 2014 starting with a survey and explanation on how this system works. We chose it because it sounded efficient, clean and simple to use as well as not having to pull the house apart to install pipes, boilers and tank whether it was going to be gas or oil. When the radiators were installed, it was a simple matter of a few drill holes with raw plugs and plug the units into the nearest socket, simple no pulling up of floors and pipes everywhere. Once they were installed, I was shown how to set each radiator up on the unit supplied, but I tend to use my iPad or phone and, with my phone, I can turn the heating on away from home so the house is nice and warm on arrival. The customer service has been second to none as I had a bit of difficulty when I changed my internet supplier and router, it was sorted in minutes by Mr Britton. I would recommend this system to anybody thinking of what heating system to install for efficiency, cleanliness and not so expensive to run as first thought.

The work was taken out after a recommendation from a friend who had previously had some radiators installed. My original storage heaters were not heating properly and this seemed the ideal replacement. I want a company that was also local. The original gentleman who measured up was very polite and efficient. After the quote was sent through the installation was arranged very promptly and within a few weeks I had the installation date. This was done very professionally and event thought the bathroom radiator was found to be cracked, someone returned within 2 days to complete the work. I am very happy with the performance of the radiators and of the company.

Really impressed by the promptness, efficiency and friendly service provided. The new heaters were installed swiftly, and the engineers took the trouble to leave the house clean and tidy. A follow-up visit to get the heating apps working on both our phones was also very efficient. A couple of weeks later, the heating app helps us to see at a glance just how much our electricity consumption has gone down, while giving us much better control over the heat output than was possible with our old storage heaters.

I had electric radiators fitted last year and an excellent job was done. However, I recently had a problem with the heated towel rail programme so phoned for assistance. I had to ring 3 times before someone phoned me back I have never liked the contact centre you use as can never get through to someone at South West Heating straight away - always have to leave a message for someone to ring me back and as I said on this occasion it took 3 times before I was contacted. However, once I spoke to Jordan he was extremely polite and helpful (and apologetic about not getting back to me sooner) and he made suggestions as to what could be wrong with the towel rail etc. I re-set the programme once I was at home and the problem seems to be fixed now. Please therefore review your after-sales service otherwise I would not hesitate to recommend you.

Following our initial enquiry, our new heaters were installed early June. As these were not turned on until early October, I did not return the customer satisfaction survey. I would just like to say no how pleased we are with the heaters, and to be able to control the temperature in the individual rooms is great. So we would like to thank everyone from the office team to Shaun Reynolds and Graham Short, the fitters. But particularly Mark Britton, who on two occasions spent the better part of two hours sorting out our router etc. We always felt we were treated as a valued customer. We are happy to give you ten out of ten for customer service, speed of response and quality installation. Thank you.

I've used Swhs twice now and has been great service from start to finish. Very fast installation from Graham/Sean and great back up service from Mark/Jordan always quick to help with any questions you may have. Highly recommend this company and their heaters.

A week after being burgled I had an alarm system fitted. They were professional, understanding, organised and fast. Good advice and great value. Great customer service and personal. I have no complaints. I wish all companies were as good as them. They called after fitting to see if I was ok and everything else was going well. No push selling - bonus. If you want a great alarm system with great customer service this is the place to go.

Thanks for this review Shital but it's not for us. I've reported it to Which? so the rightful owners can have it relocated on their profile!

The whole process was very efficiently carried out from the visit when our order was placed through to the installation of the heaters. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful and the heating system is a vast improvement on our previous night storage system.

From when I first contacted South West Heating they gave me a professional, friendly service. There was no pressure when they came around for a quotation so I ended up with exactly what I needed, no more no less. When it came to fitting it, they were polite, friendly throughout, and left everything neat and tidy. Overall an excellent company.

Despite a few teething problems in the early stages - caused by them being so busy - the service was thereafter very good. The installation went exactly as described, and then I had occasion to reset the app software shortly afterwards they were so accommodating and resolved the issue by remotely connecting to my heater. I've been very pleased with my storage heaters.

From first contact through site survey to final installation, we were never less than impressed by their friendly, professional approach, giving us all the time and advice we needed to make a fully informed decision. The day-long installation itself was carried out by Graham and Sean with great humour, attention to detail and meticulous tidiness - at the end of the day, apart from the new radiators themselves, you wouldn't have known they'd been here. They didn't even eat all the cake and chocolate biscuits! Now we just have to wait for the colder weather to put it all to the test but, so far, so good.

Still a journey in progress but, six months after having our heating system installed and coming through a very cold winter in parts, happy to report that we are generally very satisfied with our new heating. Obviously the controllability has made a huge difference and the ability to tailor each room to our requirement is still somewhat of a novelty after 30 years of night storage heaters and a wood-burning stove, although we are still learning the optimum temperatures for each heater - I think we had them higher than necessary initially! We may have to look at our supplier when our current contract runs out but bills have been no worse than expected, generally similar to before. I know that when we invested in the system there was very much a message of the electricity you can potentially save but, in reality, you have to factor in that, because there is a heater in every area and you can use them more than night storage units, you use them more than you might have expected, especially when the weather is very cold! Having said that, we bought the system primarily to give us a totally controllable and utilisable heat to keep us warm not that, being retired, we are around the house much more during the day and any power savings would have been a bonus, so we are quite happy at the moment. Customer service has been excellent, although we have had little need of help. The only aid we have needed was advice on setting up a new BT hub for using the Heatapp (which is great, by the way) which we received an almost instant return of an email enquiry - thank you Mark!

So good to find a company that are not doing pressure selling. Having had a bad experience with Fischer, it was refreshing to have people who could be trusted, were professional but friendly and able and very wiling to answer questions, explain in layman's terms etc. They cleaned up after them and I was definitely recommend.

I was apprehensive about having my heating replaced as another company I'd looked at really put me off with their 'sales pitch' which I felt was rather aggressive. So, I was very pleased with South West Heating from start to finish. On the initial visit, there was no pressure to buy and no 'special deals' to be done by signing up on the day etc. Everything was explained very clearly and I was given a price which I could consider at my leisure. South West Heating contacted me some time later to ask if I was interested in going ahead, but I didn't feel under pressure. Anyway, by this time I had decided to go ahead. On the day of installation, the installers were both friendly and professional at all times and I was very pleased with the job they did. When explaining how to control the heating with my mobile, the installer was very patient with me as I am not a very technical person and I was a little anxious about understanding what to do. I was very reassured by the fact that I was given a number, could call at any time if I had any trouble or needed anything explaining again. However, I have found the controls very easy to use. I've now been using my new heating system for 4 months and am very pleased with it. I wish I had changed my heating a long time ago as it is so good to be able to have instant heat when I want it and to adjust the temperature as and when I need to. To date, I am very pleased with my new system and would certainly recommend this company to my friends and family.

My heating was fitted extremely efficiently with the minimum of mess. The two men who came were polite and helpful, all my old storage heaters were taken away. I have found this heating system to be just what it promised - controllable heat whenever you need it - such a great improvement on storage heaters. I have been very pleased with it and so glad I changed. Thank you.

From the initial survey to installation everything went without fault. The installation team were quick, efficient and a pleasure to have in our house. Nothing was too much trouble. The heating is brilliant. We have had it installed since last October so have had it running all winter. With the help of the control App it is easy to use and. I am pleased to say, very affordable. A lot cheaper to run then I expected and so easy to control. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both the company and their product Thanks Guys

The radiator installation was quick and expertly carried out with minimal disruption. The house was left tidy and a full demonstration of the system was given. The heaters are very nice and the Heat App makes the programming of individual radiators very easy . The App is also a convenient way of monitoring the power consumption of the radiators. The radiators provide a constant heat which is responsive to the temperature at all times so that you get the heat when you want it . Highly recommended !

I am writing to say how happy we are with our heaters. They have been installed for over a year now, I have waited to see how they performed throughout the winter. We are very pleased, they are more economical than our storage heating. We haven't used them on the timer much at all, being able to turn them on when out is a big advantage. I would like to thank all your staff especially when I rang a few times trying to get used to the app.

Very happy with the service. Prompt and tidy workers no mess left lying around after heaters were fitted. Office staff always pleased to answer questions. And most important turned up on the planned day at the time informed.

The installation was carried out on the time & date agreed. The workmen were efficient, tidy, very polite and friendly. Once completed they went out of their way to explain how the system worked, every question we asked was explained fully and in such a way we fully understood. We cannot fault their after sales service, the system is everything we asked for and considered money well spent.

The electricians arrived promptly for the replacement of storage heaters and some panel heaters in March 2014. Unfortunately, two of the Elba radiators were faulty. SW replaced these and persevered until everything was sorted. I was so impressed with their service and workmanship at this stage that I decided to have the remaining old panel heaters replaced by Elbas. This was done in October 2014. Again prompt and efficient service. Economy - the ABW that replaces storage rads use about 1/3 of the units. Warmer and more comfortable house, lower bills. Brilliant.

Following minor problems with initial installation. Our concerns were dealt with in a professional and efficient manner. The system is exactly what we wanted heat when and where required. Cost effective, flexible and tailored to our exact needs. Overall very satisfied.

The initial quote/survey and actual installation of heaters were perfect, no problems and very straightforward and professional. But sadly the communication with South West Heaters proved very difficult. We were told that it would take 4-6 weeks for the heaters to be delivered and installed. After 7 weeks I had to get in touch as no-one had called to let us know what was happening. Was then told it would actually take 10 weeks until the installation. Very disappointing, especially as we had to remove our old night stores and fit a new fuse board so we were without any heating for about 5 weeks - good thing it was a very mild winter! Trying to get in touch with anyone at South West Heating can be very difficult as calls are diverted up-country then if no-one available a message is taken and someone will call you back. Only most times no one calls back. Over the order period I had to call and leave my details about 30 times, no one seems to keep any customer details on file. But the actual installation went very well, very pleased with heaters although I had to ring up again to get the heatapp instructions which should have been emailed to me but were not. Heaters work very well and look great, easy to control from heatapp. App itself is a little buggy but nothing to worry about. You can get these heaters for a lot less elsewhere, but if you want the heatapp and any choice of colours this is the company to go for :)

Thanks for taking the time to write and inform us of your experience Oli – although naturally we’re disappointed to hear of the troubles, we’re pleased to know it wasn’t all bad. We’re grateful of your feedback regarding the PA service. In winter we do need them to help with call volumes but unfortunately, they do require a name, contact number and message – we appreciate this can be a little frustrating, especially when you feel we already ‘know each other’. We’ve since changed company and also implemented a change which short-cuts the amount of information taken for existing customers, so thank you. We too were frustrated by the delayed delivery: the Calais refugee crisis caused disruptions which were far from ideal for anyone involved, and we do hope the £135 gesture of goodwill we gave you went some way to turn a bad situation into one of vague acceptability.

I was extremely pleased with the efficiency and pleasant manner of all the SW Heating staff from my initial contact requesting a visit to my home to carry out a survey for a quotation right through to the completed installation and after sales service. I would not hesitate in recommending this company (I have already so to a number of my friends) The heaters that I had installed were to replace some old very heavy night storage units which I had and these were also removed and disposed off by SW Heating, a service which some of their other competitors wanted to charge extra for. Finally the heaters themselves are to a very high standard regarding build and operation and suit my needs exactly I wish this business all the the very best and success in the future

We are not sure how expensive the system is to run, because we only found out we were on the wrong tariff. This has been going on now for 1 year. We did notify them of the change and it was recorded that we had done this but the electric company failed to act on this notification. I would recommend that all customers should be made aware to double check the tariff. The warning sign is when the electric company starts increasing the monthly direct debits. The heaters are quick and efficient, the downside is the heating app. Some days the app system goes off for some reason, then comes back on later.

A very professional service from quotation to installation. Everyone very easy and friendly to deal with. The product is second to none, looks good and is very efficient. Companies like South West Heating are hard to come across, they are a first class company in every respect.

Our heating was a two stage process, removal of existing (oil powered) system on one day, and installation on the second day of the new electric system. At our request, we wanted an appointment after we had used up our stock of oil. SWHS were completely flexible with this arrangement, and kept us updated with their available dates, which was reassuring. The day before the plumber was due to remove the old system, he called at the house to check all was well for the following day! He arrived at 9am on the dot, and made an excellent, clean and tidy job. Installation of the new system followed. Arrived on time, very clean and friendly. The work was to a very high standard. SWHS - an excellent, professional company. No hesitation in recommending to anyone.

This is a great quality product and installation was straight forward, quick and everything clearly explained. Lovely to have the control over when the heating is on/off via the app rather than our old night-storage heaters. Very pleased with everything.

We originally had our radiators installed in February 2015. The service provided was fast and professional, with the two installers being very friendly and helpful. We had some issues with the original HeatApp hub, however Mark was always excellent and patiently provided support and advice on me on a number of occasions. He worked diligently to solve the issue and to provide the best levels of customer satisfaction.

Following a very thorough and knowledgeable survey and quotation we went ahead with the installation of 4 ELKAtherm radiators. Our fuse board was updated and the installation was very straightforward - something that attracted us to the system in the first place. Since then we have had a fifth small radiator added to the system. We had one or two problems setting up various tablets and PC's to run HeatApp, but the support and dedication provided by Mark Britton and his team has been excellent. We love being able to control the heating remotely as we are not always resident in the cottage and it is good to be able to monitor actual temperatures as well as electricity consumption.

Thorough survey completed by surveyor high lighting extend of disruption and proposed routing of supply cables with detailed quotation installation completed by qualified electricians and technicians. Later modification to system to include hot water supply again with full services.
